Oh the horror! Driving is a privilege not a right, and many of our own citizens aren't able to do it for a variety of reasons.



I don't get it. If an entire country is telling you they don't want you hear--as evidenced by our presidential election--why would you defy them? Why would you FORCE yourself on the native population? Such stubbornness and arrogance.
This is exactly what drove me crazy for so long and I was accused of being racist. What right does someone have to come to this country and tell me I owe them a living, their kids an education and on top of that, every kid they drop becomes a citizen...... ? BS !


In my youngest grandsons school, so much money was spent on trying to provide remedies for the kids who could not speak English that little was left for the American born kids needs. It was terrible and common knowledge in the school system. Private or charter schools were the only solutions, if you could afford it or get in.....sad, really sad.

Gee, they didn't consider the possibility of being deported when they came here illegally and now they are outraged that the chickens have come to roost for them? What do they think should happen when you break the law? If our own citizens break the law they pay the price and many times get separated from their kids. At least these illegal aliens can take their kids with them when deported. Since when is enforcing any of our laws, discrimination? WTH?

You mean like 911? No ban on those people from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or UAE. Oh wait...Trump has business interests there. Making us safer? Nope...

The left seems to want to bundle "legal" and "illegal" immigrants into the same package so they can pretend that any/all restrictions on either are inhumane or not politically correct.

Neither Trump or anyone else is targeting "Legal" immigrants. This is only another false narrative designed to mis-characterize the GOP. The present Visa limitations are necessary to gain a temporary respite in the unfettered flow of "illegal" immigrants - Unfortunately, those with legal visas will be temporarily inconvenienced in the process. The problem is NOT with the GOP, it's with the "ILLEGAL" immigrants! -- Why does this seem so difficult for the left to grasp?

Of course, it was never an issue with the Obama administration who not only failed to protect our borders --- but, did everything possible to bring un-vetted Muslims with an entirely different worldview, from halfway around the world to the U.S. - The current plan to support Syrian and other refugee camps in the MidEast makes much more sense -- and has been touted by those more interested in workable solutions ... than in scoring PC points.

It's not only the DEM's the GOP has also been at fault why it's because of lobbyist like the US chamber of Commerce who represent large corporations that want an endless supply of illegal labor which won't complain about low pay and harsh working conditions like in meat processing plants.

In this story says 8 million are employed in the US I live in Arizona one of the hardest hit states by illegal labor. A good friend of mine who ran a house framing business employed all Americans until 2006 when illegal sub-contractors who were all illegals showed up he had to file bankruptcy. He said he can't pay his guys a good wage when he keeps getting underbid by sub-contractors who were illegal themselves and hired illegals.

Perfect example this story above how they hire illegals take their SSNs knowly they are bogus but because they are not forced to use E-verify they can get away with it why are they not forced to use E-Verify because US chamber of Commerce lobbied GOP's and DEMS to gut the law and make it so no one enforces it.

If Trump wants to really do something about illegal stop them from being employed.

Immigrants in Michigan: Trump orders 'tear our families apart'

Then just go HOME there, illegal aliens.
if I break the law I am subject to being put in jail, thereby 'tearing my family apart.'
this is no different. so why so much whining by these lawbreakers?

I can hear the world's smallest violin. These criminals should have thought about their families before they decided to break the law.

Immigrants (non citizens)/illegals have more rights than actual citizens .

America needs to put its own people 1st. Middle class no longer can shoulder the tax burden.
